George Foreman was and still is a freak, his power is indescribable, his chin was better than Tyson's or Ali's. Tyson is not going to knock out George Foreman. Ron Lyle knocked Goerge Foreman down 3 times for 5 and 6 counts, once for an 8 count, and staggered him another half dozen times. ANY OTHER FIGHTER BESIDES FOREMAN would have been knocked cold by Lyle's shots.
Mike Tyson didn't hit as hard as people like to think. Larry Holmes said that EARNIE SHAVERS HIT MUCH HARDER THAN TYSON, that when Shavers hit him and knocked him down it was "like those old time flash bulb cameras, all I saw was this bright white flash and I don't remember anything until the ref was saying "Five! Six!".
But Holmes said Tyson's power came mostly from his incredible hand-speed, that it was more the surprise of the shot than the sheer brute force of the shot that Tyson benefited from. Foreman's left jab is about 20 times more powerful than Tyson's left jab. George Foreman staggered Evander Holyfield with a single left jab in their fight.
ANY George Foreman 1973 or 1991 IS THE WRONG STYLE MATCH-UP for Mike Tyson the Midget.
